B. Consultant Services Request for Qualifications - Transit Ridership Study and Travel Demand Model
Mr. Sanders explained that CAMPO is seeking qualifications for the update of the current travel demand
model and development of a list of short and long range recommendations for the construction of
thoroughfare and intersection enhancements. He stated that CAMPO is also seeking qualifications for a
JEFFTRAN system -wide assessment, focusing on service goals and performance measures, and consulting
responsibilities.
Mr. Benz commented that he supports two consultants rather than one doing both projects. He explained
that you might get a lesser quality product with one consultant doing both projects because they are either
proficient in traffic studies and not transit or vice versa.
Mr. Smith agreed with Mr. Benz but stated that he would not preclude a consultant with qualifications that
could do both projects.
Technical Committee members concurred to select two consultants. Technical Committee members also
concurred to begin the Transit Ridership Study now and wait to do the Travel Demand Model until the new
Lafayette interchange is open and normal traffic patterns have developed.
